D-Pad in BT Settings

[Guest Loconinja]

In most apps, holding the centre of the d-pad has the same effect as tapping and holding with the stylus. However, this doesn't work in the Bluetooth settings app where tap-and-hold on a paired device should bring up the context menu.

This is particularly annoying for me as when I want to connect to my BT handsfree kit, I have to tap-and-hold the device in the list when it would be much easier to hold the d-pad.

Does anyone have a solution to this? Cheers.

Can I ask why you have to do this? I just turn my BT headset on and it starts working.... no settings change necessary

That's a good question, actually. For automatic connection, the connection has to be initiated from the handsfree device. My previous handset (Hermes/Vario II) would not respond to connection requests from my BT handsfree (actually a Pioneer BT-enabled stereo), so I had to initiate the connection from the Vario II instead. This worked, but meant that I had to manually make the connection every time, which was a pain.

I have connected my Vario III using the same method, so have the same problem. I never thought to try the initiating the connection from the stereo, but I will tonight.

The D-pad still doesn't work on the Bluetooth settings page though! :)
